CONSTRUCTOR

Spawns a new component session and creates a SQLite database if it doesn't already exist.

Takes a number of mandatory parameters:

'id_file', the file path of a Metabase ID file;
'dsn', a DBI DSN to use to store the submission queue;
'uri', the uri of metabase server to submit to;

and a number of optional parameters:

'address', the address to bind the listener to, defaults to INADDR_ANY;
'port', the port to listen on, defaults to 0, which picks a random port;
'username', a DSN username if required;
'password', a DSN password if required;
'db_opts', a hashref of DBD options that is passed to POE::Component::EasyDBI;
'debug', enable debugging information;
'multiple', set to true to enable the Queue to use multiple PoCo-Client-HTTPs, default 0;
'no_relay', set to true to disable report submissions to the Metabase, default 0;
'submissions', an int to control the number of parallel http clients ( used only if multiple == 1 ), default 10;
'session', a POE::Session alias or session ID to send events to;
'recv_event', an event to be triggered when reports are received by the relay;

address may be either an simple scalar value or an arrayref of addresses to bind to.

If recv_event is specified an event will be sent for every report received by the relay server. Unless session is specified this event will be sent to the parent session of the component.

OUTPUT EVENTS

If recv_event is specified to spawn, an event will be sent with the following:

ARG0 will be a HASHREF with the following keys:

osversion
distfile
archname
textreport
osname
perl_version
grade

ARG1 will be the IP address of the client that sent the report.

If queue_event is specified to spawn, an event will be sent for particular changes in queue status
